Boring grind that leads nowhere satisfying

Only fun if you enjoy math or copying builds from forums/guides

diablo 3 is better

I've had fun with it, but it's very much about your build. You can't just throw something together and hope to go far. I've found the board very useful, it's a helpful community

I think it's pretty fun but it's definitely the sort of game that just gradually spirals into increasingly grindly endlessness in the endgame (that is, once you finish the main storyline)

it's probably the best game in its genre atm so if you're interested in what it presents itself as I'd say at least check out the story? and then you can decide if you want to do postgame stuff depending on how much you liked it

Definitely, I'm playing on ps4. I'd like to farm some levels but there's currently no way to team up on ps4, unless that has recently changed.

it almost definitely has multiplayer even on the ps4 version, being able to play through these sorts of games in parties is basically a staple of the genre and there's n way they'd remove it for a console release

I misspoke, I think. You can definitely team up with friends, but I don't know of any way to group with randoms

Game is amazing, even if I'm currently quite burnt out on it. Easily best in genre, though it's a genre that's not for everyone.
